Your car is in their care. You stay in control.
A shop may ask to connect GuestLot during your visit. Here is what that means, what the shop can see, and what to review before you drive away.
Approve through Tesla.
GuestLot does not need your Tesla password. Connected features use Tesla’s authorization flow. Review the requested permissions and choose whether to grant them; a virtual key may also need pairing in your vehicle.
- No GuestLot account required for the owner
- Authorize only when you understand the visit and requested permissions
- You may choose a card-only visit instead
A clearer picture of the visit.
When authorized and available, the shop can see the last reported vehicle position, battery, odometer, and supported vehicle states. Location access is part of the request. Readings include timestamps and can become stale or unavailable.
- A key card alone does not provide vehicle location data
- Staff can record their own observations separately
- A missing reading must not be presented as a verified state
Review the handover together.
Confirm the vehicle and physical keys are returned. Review any remaining phone keys, driver invitations, and third-party access. A visit marked complete in shop software is not the same as every Tesla key being removed.
- Manage third-party authorization in your Tesla account
- Review paired keys on the vehicle’s Controls → Locks screen
- GuestLot cannot remotely erase an NFC key card
A report, if your shop chooses to share.
The shop can provide an expiring AccessReceipt link for your visit. It summarizes available readings and hand-back information without requiring a GuestLot login. The shop may also keep the record internal.
- No app to install to view a shared report
- Missing readings are identified
- Ask your shop for condition photos, repair details, or questions about the visit
A clearer answer.
A better start.
Can the shop see where my vehicle is?
If you authorize location access and a valid reading is available, authorized shop staff can see the last reported position and its timestamp. A card-only visit does not provide location data.
How do I end third-party access?
Use your Tesla account’s third-party app settings to revoke GuestLot. Review keys in the vehicle’s Controls → Locks screen and remove any keys you no longer want. Check driver invitations separately with the shop. GuestLot cannot remotely erase physical key cards.
Will I automatically receive a report?
No. Your shop decides whether to share an AccessReceipt. If they enable it, you can open the expiring link without creating a GuestLot account.
Make the next handover
a better one.
